    - Transitions I am not sure if this is the right place to post messages for Movie Maker, so if this is the wrong newsgroup someone please let me know. I am running the latest version of MM and I have a question regarding using music with transitions. I create photo stories using Plus Photo Story Software from the Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition. When I export out of Photo Story and then import that video into MM when I add transitions it like skips part of the music when playing. Almost like it cuts the clip when the transition happening and then picks up again. Any ideas why this happens and is there a fix for it? Thanks -- Scott Micale Director of IT 330-877-3631 Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22743

    - Error Message Whenever I try to save this one video file, it keps saying that I've altered the imported files since I imported them. They have not been touched or altered in any way. When I preview the video, everything shows up, and it works fine. However, when I try to render it as WMV, it always says that the files aren't available. What can I do that doesn't involve redoing it completely? The program is really frustrating me, and I'm beginning to hate Windows. Its always giving me problems like this.

    - saving to DVD Greetings Papa John! Your help has been immeasurable over the last 2 weeks - thank you! Tricky programme but the results are well worth it. However, I am now unable to get my saved movie to play back on the DVD player or on my PC. The file was saved first at high quality video (cutting the project into pieces and importing the videos) then saved as DV-AVI (pal). I then used the TMPGGnc to convert the file to mpeg. Now, it can't find the required codec to play back on my PC as an Mpeg (I have reset the internet security levels) and it certainly will not play back on the DVD player. I have used Sonic Record Now and I have tried Nero savind as a VCD. Any ideas? Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22730

    - Save Movie as DV-AVI (NTSC) Error This is sort of complex so please bear with me while I try to explain the details. Just finished a project and went to make save movie in DV-AVI (NTSC) format and the "Save Movie Wizard" dialog displayed the following "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard", "Your movie was not saved successfully". "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are sill available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again". So I did all of the above and everything checks out just fine. Closed MM2 and reopened project, but still wouldn't save DV-AVI (NTSC) movie. So figured I'd try saving it as a 'High quality video (NTSC)' movie; worked fine. Figured maybe something wrong with MM2 preventing it from saving DV-AVI (NTSC) movies, so I loaded the main source clip into an empty project and saved it as DV-AVI (NTSC) movie just fine. Okay so maybe something wrong with some of the other clips, transitions, or titling in the project. So I delete everything from the project except the main video clip (the one I mentioned saving above) but it still wouldn't save as DV-AVI (NTSC) movie. What gives? How can I figure out what is wrong with this project and fix it so it will save as a DV-AVI (NTSC) movie? Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22714

    - Windows Movie Maker conversion I recently bought an HP 420i DVD burner and I am trying to convert the WMM slideshow I made of my trip to Ireland to a media format the HP will burn, without success. I've read around groups, etc. and haven't yet figured out how to do this. When I try to burn the VCD it kicks out my DVD-RW and says to check the media. The only thing I can figure out is that the HP burner doesn't like WMM format, but I can't figure out how to change it or save it. Anyone have this figured out? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22712

    - WMM 2.1 Beta? I saw this mentioned on Papa John's site. Sounds like a major improvement, to solve crashes due to codec conflicts within the program, without having to rename codecs manually or with a 3rd party program. Is there a URL from which one can download this version? Or is it only available on the SP2 CD? I looked on the Microsoft web site, and did not see it mentioned. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22711

    - MM2 Bug List Been reading through some of PapaJohn's web site and find there are bugs mentioned here and there. It would be nice if there was a bug list one could go to to see if a symptom they are experiencing is due to a known bug. Is there such a list already in existence? If not I think this would be a great addition to your site PapaJohn. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22701

    - This is an excellent goup... This is an excellent group. In fact, one of the best I think I have ever seen if not the best, and the reasons for that are the participants, all thoughtful and considerate people. I'll miss you guys and gals, mostly because I'm moving on but I wanted to offer KUDOS and health to all here. I came to MM2 after a hiatus from Ulead products, found MM to be a very good program, but alas, my prior experiences made me realize I still wanted the things MSP could give me even if it wouldn't run on my current equipment. That situation has been taken care of now, so, thanks to you all whether you asked a relevant question for me, or answered so clearly and concisely!

    - Cannot detect DV connection? Hi, I've just purchased a new computer with Windows XP and an ATI video card to do video editing. When I connect up the DV (already playing the video) to my new com via the firewire cable, the computer gave a sound indicating that the com detected a new connection.

    - Video quality I have succesfully recorded video to Movie Maker from a Sony Handycam thru the firewire port, but am shocked at the poor quality of the recording, versus what I watch directly on my Handycam. My idea was to put video from my camera to CD or DVD and save for posterity. I obviously have much to learn about doing this right. Where shall I go to start learning about the techniques, file choices, etc etc etc. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22672

    - Windows Movie Maker 2 I am using a Sony DCR-TRV260 NTSC for making videos. I generally set the camera to LP for shooting video, but when I download to Movie Maker 2, my video comes out showing digital pixels which blurs the images, and distorts the finished movie. My question: Could this be caused by my camera settings, and should I changed my settings back to SP, or is there another problem I am not aware of when configuring my options in Movie Maker 2? Thank you Indigo Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22671

    - Audio vs Audio/Music I have still pictures (NO VIDEO), narration, and music that I want to all go at the same time. So the music is background and the narration is heard while the pictures are passing by. I cannot figure out how to get background music. It seems like the only way is if I have video. Audio levels don't work for both narration and music in the Audio/Music row of the timeline. How do you balance music and narration in the Audio/Music row? And if you can't, can you somehow insert audio into the Audio row and the background music into the Audio/Music row? Thanks! Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22657

    - Problems getting movie to go on cd I have tried every thing to get movie maker to put my movie on cd but it gives me an error message that says something like movie maker does not detect a burner on my computer. My computer came with a dvd burner. I tried to do what they say to do on the web site but none of that works. I have even un-installed and re-installed the program to see if that would help, it does not. I also can not save my movie on the hard drive as a mpeg so that I can get another program to burn it to the cd. What can I do? Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22652

    - Problems getting movie maker to transfer to cd I have used movie maker 2 to create a slide show of pictures. I like the way it looks but I am not able to transfer it to cd. It keeps giving me an error message that says it does not detect a burner on my computer. My computer came with the dvd burner, and it also had movie maker 1 in it. I downloaded the movie maker 2 every thing works but that . It also will not save on my hard drive as a mpeg file so that I can use another program to put it on cd. I have looked on the web site to see what I could do to fix this problem, but that does not work either. What else can I do to get it to work. I have even tried to remove it totally from my computer and re-installing it but that did not help. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22651

    - Custom Effects and Transitions not working Downloaded the custom effects and transitions from MS. Followed the instructions, but still no extra effects. The original effects still work fine. The only thing I didn't understand in the instructions was compiling to visual c++. Not sure if this applies to me or not. Here are the instructions I followed: Create the AddOnTFX directory in Movie Maker's Shared install directory (C:\Program files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX), and then copy the XML files from the XML directory in this sample (C:\MMSTFX\XML\*.xml) to the directory you created. Register the enclosed DLL, MMSTFX.dll, in the sample's Bin directory by typing regsvr32 c:\MMSTFX\Bin\MMSTFX.dll from the command line. Run Movie Maker and look for the new transitions and effects. When compiling this sample be sure to add the DXMedia SDK's include directory (C:\DXMedia\Include) to your Visual C++ include path.

    - Not recognizing mpeg files Occasionally, I take video footage on my little sony digital still camera and it captures audio and video in mpeg format. When I try to import that file into wmm (version 2), it will only capture about the first 5-10 seconds. Then it tends to freeze when working with that file. I like the easy ability to that wmm 2 offers to take a video file, and shrink it down into a size fit for email. That is why I take video footage with our still camera...little clips that I want to email, but still need to shrink. How can I correct this importing problem. Tag: HP Movie Writer Tag: 22598
